Question
If I were to buy human grade grape seed extract for a coughin horse, what dosage would I give?

Answer
Hi Karen,

Thanks for your question.  I do like grapeseed extract for allergy-type responses in horses, nice choice.  The human grade grapeseed that I have used was dosed at 1 teaspoon (approx 10 grams) once or twice a day, depending on the severity of the horse's allergic reaction.  For some horses, I have dosed them when they underwent a coughing fit...and it seemed to help quite quickly.

Thanks, Corlena
